and on the seventh day, someone said “and let there be only more rain”

May 19th, 2006

our scene begins, on a dark and gloomy morning, someplace in the woods of vermont. where our heroine has been subjected to seven straight days of rain.

*loud knock*

’suse me ma’m, we have some reports of some violations here.


pardon me sherrif, but i’m unawares of any violations here. i’m just going about my day.


just take a look over yonder, ma’m


*laughs*
that is just my spinning, sherrif.


exactly, ma’m. or should i say, perp.
look at this! you put ramie in with silk sari and angora?!
do i even need to mention the abuse of *tinkle*?
that alone violates most laws of good taste.


’scuse me, sheriff; but isn’t taste subjective???
it’s a fine lace weight yarn.


*in a stern voice*
that may be, missy.
but, do you have plans for this yarn?


*getting sweaty*
um, plans, why, no…


*growing increasingly irritated*
i see.
well, don’t you have plans to meet with people you haven’t seen in 10 years, today?
and you are still un showered


*chuckles*
well, anyone who knows me, knows i stink.


*YELLING*
that is beside the point, where are your priorities?!
don’t you have deadlines? things that you need to do.


*hangs head in shame*
yes, but you don’t understand… i was compelled!


ahh, i see, compulsion, an addict, eh?
*sniffs arround*


is that HEMP!?! you put hemp in this yarn??… that’s it missy. it’s all over for you…


*trying to defend herself*
but, it’s european hemp, sheriff.. we don’t buy hemp from china.


that’s it lady, i’m calling the u-haul and we are confiscating your stash.


*gets faint*
NO!
anything but that
take my children, take the coke-a-cola i have stashed in the fridge..
anything! i’ll give you anything, just leave my fibers!!

*lights dim*
*curtian closes*

it too can happen to you, next time it rains for 7 straight days, watch your back

    […] it was the yarn i was spinning in this here post those descriptions are in italics because some boob went around dissing other people’s yarn. for no other reason than he has some stick up his ass wouldn’t spin yarn like that; or something… whatever gets you thru the day, i suppose? whatever makes you feel better about youownself? hurt all the people you want to? jealousy is a terrible monster, and it will eat you alive. so, this week, it became multifaceted for me. (as it often does…) rule #1 of friendship… have your sister’s back. […]
